GUTTENBERG — About 100 Galaxy Towers residents objected Wednesday to the layoffs of more than 90 building employees due to job outsourcing.

Residents are concerned that potentially low wages for workers employed by Planned Building Services, which was contracted to perform duties around the towers, will create a revolving door of employees and hurt the quality of service.

Galaxy Towers Condominium Association sent a letter to current employees on July 12 informing them of the decision to outsource all front desk, housekeeping, and security/garage workers to PBS at a reduced rate of about $9 to $11 an hour, down from the $15 to $16 an hour workers currently receive.

Current employees are slated to be let go on Aug. 1.

Earlier this month, the union filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that the GTCA negotiated in bad faith by not providing bid information from companies that PBS beat out. The status of that complaint is still under review.

Since 2006, the employees union, part of Local 124 RAISE, have been bargaining with the GTCA and even agreed to a wage freeze in 2008 that has stuck for three years.

“What we have here is union bashing, plain and simple,” said Kevin McCann, 53, a concierge at the Galaxy for 30 years. “They don’t even have the (guts) to put their names on the letter of termination — they just want us out.”

Former GTCA president Allan Ellinger said previous GTCA boards have outsourced seasonal work but never the entire operation.

“We don’t know if this could be a good thing for the homeowners or a bad thing, but the (GTCA) should have informed us about the issues because then we wouldn’t be here tonight,” Ellinger said.

Residents also expressed concerns that only four of the nine-member board voted in favor of outsourcing, with four others abstaining and only one member voting against the measure.

Seven members of the GTCA board, including president Slava Lerner, did not return calls for a response. Two other members, Gail Hoffman and Nicolas Koutzaroff, declined to comment.

But one resident, who declined to give her name, did say the GTCA did all they could to find a unionized company for outsourcing.

“It’s a sad event, but it’s a reflection of today’s economic climate,” the resident said.
